Our ADSL Uncapped Bolt-on service is still available but it is no longer compatible with our premium Fat Pipe ADSL service.

Hope this helps.

Hi Voxy, not sure what exactly means "no longer compatible with our premium Fat Pipe ADSL service". Would you clarify for me please!
 
It's a pity this will no longer be available. Maybe it was too good a product :)

+1.

I'm in DSL heaven right now. I picked up the Afrihost 40Mbit bundle when it was still so cheap, then added the Fatpipe account + Uncapped bolton which effectively gives me a 40Mbit uncapped service.

Pricing:

AH 40Mbit line + 50GB data: R597
Telkom analog rental: R157
Vox 50GB Fatpipe + Bolt-on: R230

Total: R984 pm.

Very cheap comparatively, but this is still a lot to pay for internet. I still use the about same amount of data than I did when I had a 4Mbit line.

You missed the most important point - he still uses the same amount of data - just at a vastly superior speed
 
I didnt miss it. He did not quote figures. I do abuse this service and i do not like the prospect of other people doing so just to harbor data. Note the word prospect.

I've done 441GB since the beginning of the month, 15GB of that is from my cap the rest is the uncapped bolt-on. People are doing twice that amount on 4Mbit lines.

Also as I see it, Vox have a lot of excess capacity after hours as they're mainly business orientated so it makes sense for them to provide an after hours uncapped otherwise all that capacity is sitting there idle most of the time.
 
Trying to sign up. Keeps saying "Branch code is invalid" even though this code works on every other service I use... Anyone else ever face this problem?

Yes, and once that idle capacity is saturated, do you think they will get more just to cater to us "niche" users?

Just think about it before you flaunt your stats.
